Running W7 on a modern desktop (Asus mobo)
I had put this off for a long time - hoping it would be stable by time I upgrade.
Followed full update process - al up to date before upgrade.
After 100% upgrade ... it rebooted and got to to login screen - would not accept any mouse of keyboard input (both are USB)
Reboot and at BIOS level the mouse & kybd work fine.
As soon as I boot up OS they don't work ....
I then tried a (very old) PS2 kybd ... that did work and allow me to login ... but mouse still not working.
Mouse does power up (LED) but no cursor on screen.
Notifications that some things are being updated - so network access is fine.
I have an old PS2 mouse but PC only has 1 PS2 port .... if I plug in mouse into it ... there is a beep but still no cursor.
It looks like all files are there - it has network access ... just can't get any USB devices to work
Help - please - need to resolve ASAP

If you've never done it before, I strongly urge you to take to your local Computer Professional (A+ licensed) and pay them to do it for you. Then run the W10 COMPATIBILITY TEST. If you do the BIOS upgrade yourself or pay a Pro to do for you and you get errors from the Test, you must resolve all of them so the Test passes without errors. If you cannot do this then that Mobo is not compatible with W10, and you would need to replace it with a new one to make it so. Since it seems you have a self-built PC, this most likely would require a complete rebuild due to case/ram/cpu/gpu/psu considerations.
